Internet...What's That?

Municode is the second direct connection to the Internet (outside academia) in Leon County. The company revises its definition of publishing from "delivering words as ink on paper" to "delivering words in any medium demanded by clients."

1973

This computer thing is a fad. It will never last...

The typesetting operation is first computerized. Since then, there have been five different typesetting systems and virtually every department has increased its productivity by using technology.

A complete printing plant is installed so that all stages of the operation will be under the direct management of Municode, eliminating the need for and dependency on a subcontracted printing service.

1951

Municode's founder, Mr. George, was drafted into the United States Army and sent to the front lines to fight in WWII. Surviving the invasion of Normandy, Mr. George helped lead the Allies across the battle fields of France and ultimately on to victory.

With his G.I. Bill in hand, Mr. George attended the University of Virginia School of Law. During his summers, Mr. George worked for the Michie Company and learned the basic structure for codes of ordinances.

Seeing a better way to build code books and provide ongoing service, Mr. George founded Municipal Code Corporation in 1951. His first stop was Tallahassee. When the mayor of Tallahassee saw what Mr. George could do, he called the mayor of Jacksonville, who then called the mayor of Miami...and Mr. George realized that he was on to something.

As his company began to prosper, Mr. George became smitten with the love of his life, Miriam.

A few years later, Mr. George decided to ask his future father-in-law for his daughter's hand in marriage.

A nervous Mr. George worked up the gumption, "Sir, may I marry your daughter?"

"Son, how do you intend to take care of my most prized gift from God?"

Mr. George replied, "Well sir, if I can just get 100 cities to allow me to take care of their codes of ordinances, I know we will be OK."

65 years later, Municode now humbly serves over 4,100 cities and counties of all sizes in all 50 states!
